Peggy is a real pro. She submitted my book to Amazon's CreateSpace.com and Kindle. There were a few hitches, but she handled them immediately. I've already contracted with her to do another project. Thanks Peggy!!

Working with Peggy on this project was great. We are already discussing future collaborations. If I could have paid her more on the first project - I would have. If I could hire her full time - I would do that too!
